Answer:

Osmosis

Explanation:

Osmosis is the process of movement of water molecules from the region of its higher concentration (hypotonic) to that of the lower concentration (hypertonic).

Here, two solutions of different solute concentration are separated by a membrane that allows the movement of water molecules through it. Osmosis is a passive movement and does not require an input of energy as it is driven by the concentration gradient.

<span>Pacinian corpuscles are rapidly adapting mechanoreceptors so they respond only at the onset and offset of the stimulus. The Pacinian corpuscle has a single afferent nerve fiber. Its end is covered by a sensitive receptor membrane whose sodium channels will open when the membrane is deformed in any way. Pressure thus causes sodium to enter the neuron and create a generator potential. If this potential reaches a certain threshold nerve impulses are formed. This impulse is now transferred along the axon with the use of sodium channels and sodium/potassium pumps in the axon membrane. The magnitude of the stimulus is encoded in the frequency of impulses generated in the neuron. So the more massive or rapid the deformation of a single corpuscle, the higher the frequency of nerve impulses generated in its neuron.</span>

ycow [4]

Answer:

DNA polymerase makes a molecule of RNA from a DNA template

Explanation:

DNA  polymerase is an enzyme involved in the process of DNA replication. DNA replication replicates or synthesizes a new DNA replicate from the parental DNA.

The enzymes mentioned in the question perform a specified function which is matched with their description except for DNA polymerase as this enzyme is responsible for adding nucleotides to the synthesizing strand from the template strand f DNA.

Thus, the selected option is correct.

Repeated exposure to the same stimulus ______ leads to _____ sensitivity in our sensory systems.
Rom4ik [11]
The correct answers are "sometimes, no change or reduced".

If our sensory systems are exposed to the same exact stimulus repeatedly, sometimes it causes our sensory systems to react and sometimes it has no effect. In some cases, it may have a reduction of sensitivity, but sometimes it has no effect to our sensory systems.
